I don't wanna get left out in the cold all alone
I don't wanna cussed out like a busy telephone
Maybe we'll get blown out like a feather in a storm
Until then let's just freak 'em out and shatter all the norms
I don't wanna get messed up, wondering what I missed
I don't wanna get kicked out and crossed off of the list
Maybe we'll get shot down with no place else to go
Until then let's stay jacked up and kill the status quo
It's building up again
It's going to rain, my friend
And end with the wind
I don't wanna get burned out by having too much fun
No, I don't wanna get burned out by having too much fun
Like a raincloud in the sun...
It's building up again
It's going to rain, my friend
And end with the wind

Ellie, I know you've got some issues
But I've got a box of tissues
For my sweet Ellie-girl
Ellie, I know you've got some issues
But you've chosen to choose
To make the best of it, girl
All the world is a wide open space
To hold all the love you give
You put a smile upon every face
Give a friend a reason to contend
Ellie, Ellie, Ellie
Ellie, you know I've got some issues
And my struggle continues
To be most unusual
Ellie, you're a little complicated
But I'll never grow jaded
With my sweet Ellie-girl
La la la...
You put a smile upon every face
Give a friend a reason to contend
Ellie, Ellie, Ellie

The Right Ways

Please, don't occupy my mind
With the worst of times and the best of crimes
And no sleep. Yeah, you left me drained
Of functionality, of mental health
You, you were holding me back
I needed to get back to where I was
Before I met you, when I was doing okay
Now I'm glad to say, yes, I'm on track
Now I don't care if you’re bleeding in the night
I've been living in the right ways
And climbing out of your maze
Don't call me if you're bleeding in the night
I won't be there in the right ways
I'm trying to get right
Free, free of you and me
And free to be as cold as stone
And live where air is clear
And free from fear as an unknown
Now I don't care if you’re bleeding in the night
I've been living in the right ways
And climbing out of your maze
Don't call me if you're bleeding in the night
I won't be there in the right ways
I'm trying to get right

Jangaroo, Jangaroo, I love you like Hüsker Dü
Beating hard, beating true, how my heart it pounds for you
I feel love, I feel love, but I can't seem to get enough
Enough of you, enough of you, I love you, sweet Jangaroo
Don't turn out the light
No, don't turn out the light
Tomorrow brings another force to fight
Bullets fly and cut through
But they can't shake my love for you, Jangaroo
I have never been so sure. Time will prove this will endure
So off to slow these sinking suns, where souls escape to become one
I'll turn out the light
Yes, I'll turn out the light

Canyon

Well, I tried to explain the reasons for my transgression
But you pulled me so close that I couldn’t get the words out of my mouth
And the close proximity to the knife edge of the grand heart canyon
I’m falling down to the river below me
As the world burns the heart still yearns
When the rain falls it surely will always find the earth without fail
And when you lose your way you will find your way back home to me as well
Like the strong deep current running underneath the blood stained waters
Raining down across my bow
While the world burns the heart still yearns
You’re an open book with the pages torn
And I’ll read you til the story ends
You laid me down in a bed of thorns
To pierce right through to the heart of the matter
Moonchild, I fell for you
Your mystic eyes reflecting true
Your mind a dream shimmering
And you see right through me
Now the heart of the matter remains
While the world turns the heart still burns
You’re an open book with the pages torn
And I’ll read you til the story ends
You laid me down in a bed of thorns
To pierce right through to the heart of the matter
Now the truth of the matter remains
There are no others

All the stars, they seem out of place
Since you walked away
Such truths we cannot erase
I know it from your face, oh
Everyone believed this would never change
That we would remain, oh
This is how we destroy the faith
This is how the once inconceivable
Becomes just as laughable
The once inconceivable
Becomes just as laughable
And the leaves barely hanging on
Their color is strong
When the ending comes around
Just put it in the ground, oh
This is how we destroy the faith
This is how the once inconceivable
Becomes just as laughable
The once inconceivable
Becomes just as laughable

Airspace

You're in my airspace, my airspace
Hovering over me as if I were a child
Afraid I'll run wild
You're in my airspace, my airspace
Crowding and shouting me down, as loud as you please
And it's so hard to breathe
You're in my airspace, my airspace
No way to deny
Your sucker punch to my eye
A common thief in disguise
I've got a strict no-fly
Yeah, the facts don't lie
But you do, yeah, you do
You're in my airspace, my airspace
This city of dignity rises to the stratosphere
And you won't interfere
You're in my airspace, my airspace
Hovering over me like, just like I'm a child
Afraid I'll run wild
And I will, and I will

When You Close Your Eyes
05:32
|

When you close your eyes to the sunshine
You will feel it more intensely
When you close your eyes against the cold
You will feel it more intensely
If you want I'll hold you and we'll walk away
You will fly twice as high, just not today
When you close your eyes and the cello cries
You will feel it more intensely
Then the melody is superimposed
Transcending all infinity
If you want I'll hold you and we'll walk away
You will fly twice as high, just not today
When you close your eyes to the harsh, harsh world
Pounding you so intensely
Think of all your friends and all their love
Surrounding you so completely
If you want I'll hold you and we'll walk away
You will fly twice as high, just not today

Silhouette Silver Moon
In the middle of the day
You fade and decay
Awash and affray
Such a beautiful day
We could run away
And not come back too soon
Silhouette Silver Moon
Don't know how much you heard
If you understood a word
Of I love you
Don't question what you feel
If what you feel is real
I so love you
I so love you
Reality so easily blurred
Eternally obscured
At the sight of you
Don't disappear without a care
Simply vanish as I stare
Into the haze of June
Silhouette Silver Moon
